‘Salah will leave as a legend of this club’published at 10:40 BST
Man City v Liverpool (Sat, 12:45 BST)
Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to the club’s website about Mohamed Salah, after the news broke during the international break that the Egypt forward would leave the club in the summer:
“I knew, so it wasn’t new news to me, but I think it was very good to hear and see all the reactions of his teammates, but also from everywhere around the world, for what he has done for this football club and for football in general.
“Hopefully he can make his legacy even more special in the upcoming weeks and months where we still play for something special. But he will always leave this club as a legend because, as I said, the way this club has performed in the last seasons is also for a large part due to what he’s done for it.
“And then when I started working with him, I don’t know if it was his best season in terms of numbers, but it was an impressive season because he had the most goals and the most assists and I don’t know if that has happened much with him, let alone with any player in the Premier League.
“He will definitely leave as a legend of this club.”
